Lesson Plans and Four resource Model

Before this class and my C&I 204 class, I have never constructed a lesson plan before. When the assignment was presented, I was a bit nervous as I had no idea where to begin. After reading this chapter in Flint and forming ideas based on the four-resource model, I now have tons of ideas that I cannot wait to incorporate into my classroom. While we know how to teach literacy to children, sometimes finding engagements for the classroom time can be difficult as we do not want to send students on their way to read a story and answer questions. Flint did a great job presenting different ideas for future teachers to use in this chapter such as Roots and Branches, Class Homophone Dictionary, DSTA, Four Square, and Vocabulary Squares.
